A Jersey City carjacker has been arrested on numerous drug charges and his bail was set at $50,000 cash only when he made his first court appearance on the new charges yesterday.

Saleem K. Allen, 33, of the 700 block of Ocean Avenue, was arrested Sunday and charged with offenses that include possession of cocaine with intent to distribute within 1,000 feet of a school and within 500 feet of public property, the criminal complaint says.

Allen allegedly had 18 bags of suspected cocaine with the logo "U TURN" while near Lincoln Park and near School 39, located at 214 Plainfield Ave., the complaint says.

Allen was in prison from Aug. 10, 2005 to Feb. 24, 2009 and from June 26, 2009 to Aug. 26, 2011 for carjacking, drug possession, and two counts of drug possession with intent to distribute within 1,000 feet of a school, corrections records say.

Allen made his first court appearance in Central Judicial Processing court in Jersey City via video link from Hudson County jail in Kearny.
